Farnell offers rotary solenoids designed to provide angular motion instead of linear displacement. These solenoids are ideal for applications where limited rotation is required and are available in single or bi-directional formats with a variety of torque ratings.
Rotary solenoids convert electromagnetic force into rotational motion using a slotted armature or ball bearing mechanism. Their compact design and fast response make them suitable for tight-space actuation and high-cycle operations.
Applications:
- Shutter and valve control
- Medical imaging equipment
- Printing and paper handling
- Aerospace instrumentation
- Vending machine mechanisms
